Cellphone geeks will want to pick up Thomas Behe's new graphic novel, Contraband, in which a band of mercenaries return home from war only to get entangled in an underground mobile video network that pays out jackpot-size fees to sabotage-minded citizen journalists who capture and upload the most twisted, violent footage. The sci-fi thriller unfolds amidst vengeful relationships, insatiable desire, public outrage and mobiles that pack 1,000-volt electric nodes, pepper spray capability and -- best of all -- a fully functioning pistol with detachable silencer. Steve Jobs, take note. Free download of the first chapter here.
